Highest number of watchers on ebay.
« on: January 28, 2009, 07:14:38 AM »
I've got a guitar on ebay at the moment which has amassed 42 watchers so far !!  That's a bit of a record for me (never even got into the 30's before).

What's the greatest number of watchers you've ever had on an item ?

I think mine was about 50 when I sold a Cornford Harlequin.

Impressive !    Was there a huge bidding frenzy in the dying minutes/seconds ?

Would that be that nice Tokai LP?

I am one of the watchers!

Surprisingly no,lol. I have no idea why, but there was only 7 bidders with a total of like 10 bids.

Hamfist - I reckon that you might beat the £435 that you were looking for on this forum - mind you with the Evil Bay charges etc you will need to get to around the £470-475 mark. Lovely guitar - hope that you get a good price!!

Well I did give it a nudge to get it going but I thought that it might go a bit higher than it did.

There certainly wasn't a bidding frenzy at the end, although I had already set a pretty high starting bid, so I suppose it's not too surprising.

I think £463 was a pretty fair price for both parties to be honest.  After all the fees, I'll still be walking away with about £425.
  I'll  be sad to see it go, but the new tele I bought with the money arrived today, so that eased the pain somewhat !

This is a pretty good site.  It lists the most watched guitars/amps/pedals on ebay:

I sold a pile of boss pedals a year or so ago, most of them had LOADS of watchers.

Like, 50 odd on a Metalzone  :lol:

Had to post - made the magic 50 watchers on the tele I'm selling at the mo.  So, unlike for some on this board, teles are still REALLy popular !!

Just had my record actually selling my Gordon Smith that was in the seconds out.  I gave up here and put it on ebay and there were 116 watchers I think, by far the most I've had. 

The guitar was for sale for £400 here but I got £460 on ebay!

I always pay a little extra for 2 catagories and put 5 or 6 photos on, that usually helps.  And usually time it to end on a Friday or Saturday night around 9pm, bidders are usually a few beers to the good by then :D
